Tai Chi for Beginners
Tai Chi for Beginners is a series of gentle, slow, controlled movements or postures combined with mindful breathing techniques aimed at relaxing the mind and body. People of all ages and abilities can gain health benefits as the movements are modified for chronic health conditions, and are gentle and non-competitive. Sessions are conducted once per week for 60 minutes.
GV Health staff are certified Instructors via the Tai Chi for Health Institute. Qualifications are required to be updated every 2 years under the instruction of a Master Trainer.
